This is Day 25 of the Bedtime Yin Yoga Challenge — a gentle 35-minute evening practice to help you unwind, relax and stretch before sleep. We begin seated in dragonfly, folding softly over each leg and drifting into quiet spinal twists, then open the upper back and shoulders with eagle arms and release into butterfly. From there we move onto the belly for sphinx, rest in crocodile, and finish with cat pulling its tail before melting into corpse pose. It’s a full-body journey with a special focus on the back and spine — the kind of slow, settling practice that tells your nervous system the day is done.
This class is suitable for all levels, including beginners — every pose is offered with a gentler and a deeper option, so you can meet your body exactly where it is tonight. It’s ideal if you carry tension in your back and shoulders, or if your mind tends to race when your head hits the pillow.
A yoga mat and a little floor space is all you truly need. A cushion or yoga block under your hips makes the seated poses more comfortable, and a blanket is lovely if you’d like to stay warm as you rest. Every pose here has a gentler and a deeper variation, so take whichever feels right — there’s no need to reach your fullest expression to feel the benefit.

Just a mat and a little floor space. A cushion or yoga block under your hips makes the seated poses like dragonfly more comfortable, and a blanket is lovely if you'd like to stay cosy while you rest — but none of it is essential.
Absolutely. Yin isn't about how far you fold — it's about finding a gentle edge and letting your body soften over time. Bend your knees, sit up on a cushion and only go to around 60–80% of your capacity. Every pose has a gentler option.
Yes — that's exactly what it's designed for. This is a calming, back-and-spine focused evening practice to help you unwind, and you're warmly invited to stay in corpse pose for as long as you like at the end to drift toward sleep.
